Question
What is the venue like? Is it accessible?
Answer
The University of Texas at Austin Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is the Botanic Garden of Texas. The Wildflower Center’s Central Complex, Central Gardens, and Luci and Ian Family Garden are wheelchair accessible. These gardens are a wildlife sanctuary, and we want our guests to enjoy and respect it as much as we do. The Center has policies against pets (service animals only), smoking/tobacco/vaping of any kind, loose glitter/balloons/confetti, and drones (except those used by our videographer).
